Try this:

Boot the Vista dvd to sytem recovery options command prompt.

Type:

notepad , then press enter.

Notepad will pop up. Click File> Save.

In the drop down flap , navigate to Computer and double click it.

Rt click the compressed drive>Properties>Untick Compress this drive to save space>Apply>OK.

Might take a while to uncompress.

No. When you said to load drivers it opens a screen to look for drivers to load...

Ah right , At the prompt to select your OS installation, click the button that says 'Load Drivers'. This should bring up a explorer-style drive browser.

Then just right-click on the drive you tried to compress, and deselect 'Compress this Drive', which should still be ticked on. Hit apply, and apply to subfolders/files.
